Purpose

Following a price review, a number of
providers have requested a price increase (uplift) for current
placements which have not been purchased via frameworks.
Providers have demonstrated to the Council justification for the
requested increases citing various reasons which generally relate
to unavoidable cost pressures of inflation, National Living Wage
increase, National Insurance increase, pension costs and cost of
living expenses etc. These increases will ensure that providers can
continue to deliver good quality provision.

See attached Officer Decision Record for further information.
